    A cortical–hippocampal communication undergoes rebalancing after new learning

    Arron F Hall, Dong V Wang
    The anterior cingulate cortex selectively reorganizes communication with superficial CA1 neurons during sharp-wave ripples to balance memory consolidation following new learning.

    Negative affect influences the computations underlying food choice in bulimia nervosa

    Blair RK Shevlin, Loren Gianini ... Laura A Berner
    In bulimia nervosa, negative affect exaggerates a taste-before-health bias in food decision-making, and this bias is associated with more frequent out-of-control eating.
